Best experience I have had is at the Bamboo Organ in Las Pinas. The church uses the world-famous Bamboo organ, and the Las Pinas Boy's Choir for all of these masses. The huge acacia tree by the churchyard is decorated with Christmas lanterns, you feel like you are in a dream when in the church area. There are puto bumbong and bibingka (rice cakes) stalls. The seating extends to outside of the church because of the multitude of people who come, and can not be accommodated inside this beautiful church.
Go there, it is an experience.
Of course the mass and the "puto bumbong" will be as good in the church in your neighborhood.

Las Pinas would be one of the best but you will also hate it. There are many people there when you celebrate the Simbang Gabi. Better see the front page of Philippine Daily Inquirer today. In some cases where are too many people, sometimes, the occasion cant that be solemn anymore since there are people talking everywhere and complaining. Parking is also hard during a regular Sunday, it will be
definitely too hard on this days! People also will flock on the puto bumbong outside. I had tried going there when I was a child and wont ever forget the group of people! TOO much. Unless you come too early and occupy the front seats. But later it would be a problem when you go out, because you will be among the last to go out.
If you are after solemnity, before go to the church nearest your place. Anyway, all the Catholic churches now are well decorated for the Christmas season!
You can try going to these other famous churches during the day and you will better appreciate their designs when there are less people around.

For a solemn one, it is best to go to Santuario de San Antonio, Forbes Park, Makati City.

Pinoy Big Brother's house. The housemates will cook merienda, and the service/homily is great, according to their assessment, which is viewed on national television.

any church in the philippines would be just fine altho the ambiance in smaller towns could be more somber
